“I was an SC fan growing up. I actually went out to the score, bought a No. 4 jersey,” McCoy said on the NBC broadcast. “When I committed to the school they told me that I’ll be wearing No. 4, so I’ve actually been keeping my own jersey in the closet.”

In choosing the Trojans, McCoy will reunite with several former Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) players including members of the 2017 National Champion squad QB JT Daniels, WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and LB Solomon Tuliaupupu.
